About NHC Local Reentry Council – LINC – Wilmington
Renowned for beautiful beaches and Southern hospitality Wilmington, North Carolina is also home to NHC Local Reentry Council – LINC. This nonprofit organization serves as a liaison for men and women of all ages returning from incarceration. You can access connections to essential services and resources to reduce recidivism and promote long term recovery.
With a goal of decreasing returns to jail their programs link you to case management services and transitional living options. While voluntary adults can receive services, they prioritize those currently in prison.
They accept referrals from parole officers, justice officials, other LINC programs, nonprofits and more. You can access vital support including educational assistance, housing and transportation.
What stands out most to me is their Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI) program. This program offers group sessions for people in the criminal justice system battling opioid use disorder.
You can access essential resources and guidance to transition from incarceration successfully. Classes are available in person and virtually to seamlessly fit treatment into your schedule. You must complete eight sessions before applying for Local Reentry Council assistance.
Another great feature I noticed was their transitional living campus. You can access residential reentry programs with intensive case management, educational support, addiction treatment, job training and more. These tracks take a holistic approach to healing, ensuring you receive strength based care to meet your unique needs.
Their Jail Diversion housing also really stood out. This program provides housing for people in the criminal justice system who are employed and experiencing housing insecurity. You can live on campus for up to six months. I think this helps you have time to build stability for a successful life after incarceration.
